Poor, timorous, faithless souls that we are! How we shall smile at our vain alarms, when the worst has happened! To us here, death is the most terrible word we know. But when we have tasted its reality, it will mean to us birth, deliverance, a new creation of ourselves. It will be what health is to the sick man. It will be what home is to the exile. It will be what the loved one given back is to the bereaved. As we draw near to it, a great solemn gladness should fill our hearts. It is God's great morning lighting up the sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However, the inconsistencies of our program, coupled with a poor home record have resulted in a loss of confidence from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31720]]></link><description><![CDATA[However, the inconsistencies of our program, coupled with a poor home record have resulted in a loss of confidence from our community, as evidenced by our last two home games.

"That must be something very terrible and awful. That certainly must rend and tear the life to which God comes. At least, it will separate it and make it unnatural and strange. God fills a bush with His glory and it burns. God enters into the great mountain, and it rocks with earthquake. When he comes to occupy a man, He must distort the humanity which He occupies into some inhuman shape." Instead of that, this new life into which God comes, seems to be the most quietly, naturally human life that was ever seen upon the earth. It glides into its place like sunlight. It seems to make it evident that God and man are essentially so near together, that the meeting of their natures in the life of a God-man is not strange. So always does Christ deal with His own nature, accepting His Divinity as you and I accept our humanity, and letting it shine out through the envelope with which it has most subtly and mysteriously mingled, as the soul is mingled with and shines out through the body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live in a time of transition, an uneasy era which is likely to endure for the rest of this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15741]]></link><description><![CDATA[We live in a time of transition, an uneasy era which is likely to endure for the rest of this century.

Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have an imposing front line, and we had a tough time matching up against them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39729]]></link><description><![CDATA[They have an imposing front line, and we had a tough time matching up against them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will not make fish one and flesh of another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16066]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will not make fish one and flesh of another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To choose time is to save time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14593]]></link><description><![CDATA[To choose time is to save time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we will need more troops then we currently have to secure the elections process in Iraq -- that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38360]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think we will need more troops then we currently have to secure the elections process in Iraq -- that will probably take place in January -- but it is our belief that those troops will be Iraqi troops and there may be additional international troops that arrive to help out, as well as part of the U.N. mission.

The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a beggar? . . .
